“…Adding to the dynamic of a Latino identity is the potential influence of a nonnative accent not shared by the officer, one that may even further differentiate Latino civilians from White, non-Latino officers (Dailey, Giles, & Jansma, 2005). Indeed, Nazzi, Juscyk, and Johnson (2000) observed that children as young as five months old are already sensitive to dialectical variations and, by the age of five, accents can be as potent in children's social appraisals as sex and skin color (e.g., Kinzler, Shutts, DeJesus, & Spelke, 2009).…”

“…We tend to judge people by their (foreign) accent, as is well known from the famous matched guise research (Lambert 1967). As listeners we tend to prefer historically powerful over historically less powerful groups based on their pronunciation (Lindemann 2005), and we tend to prefer the in-group vs. the out-group (Dailey 2005). Our self-concept as speakers is correlated to our "objective" pronunciation performance (Chuming 2004), suggesting that affective factors underlie pronunciation performance.…”

This paper deals with the attitudes of Croatian speakers to ELF, in particular to its pronunciation. Four methods were combined to reach conclusions about the status of ELF in Croatia: diary study, teacher interviews, a preliminary focus group interview and a survey. Whilst the first three methods revealed that the subjects regularly disfavour ‘bad pronunciation’, the survey showed that when it actually comes to talking to either native or non-native speakers, the subjects turned out to be tolerant to a slight accent. This clearly suggests a case of what is known as linguistic schizophrenia (B.B. Kachru 1977; Seidlhofer 2001). However, there are notable differences among groups of participants depending on variables such as professional profile, gender, degree of ease and success in learning pronunciation, and national pride. In any case, the combination of these methods proved to be a very good way to deal with the topic. The diary study is a valuable method to look into everyday practices and can feed nicely into survey questions. The preliminary survey highlighted the importance of different groups of participants and the need for groups of questions focusing around different factors. The preliminary focus group interview showed that it is crucial to have a single homogenous group of participants, as well as a trained facilitator. Finally, teacher interviews pointed to the possibility of similar attitudes being held by university teachers and the students they teach, which suggests that attitudes may be perpetuated. Overall, triangulation across methods and participants in the way proposed in the present paper provided a wealth of data, allowing a bottom-up view and a top-down view on the state of ELF in Croatia.

“…Uma variante desta técnica é o verbal guise test, que se difere do matched guise pelo fato de conter estímulos provenientes de diferentes falantes (LADEGAARD, 2000;DAILEY;GILES;JANSMA, 2005). Deste modo, é possível extrair ocorrências de variantes linguísticas de um fenômeno variável de um corpus oral previamente gravado, e utilizá-las na elaboração do protocolo de testagem.…”
